Details

You’ve got places to go. The 7i is the reliable super commuter that will get you there. Explore the city's ups and downs with a 7-speed internal gear hub, fenders, rear rack and lightweight but sturdy alloy frame

This is a true joy to ride. The Shimano 7i gears makes hills easy to climb. With panniers I can carry 40 lbs of groceries without difficulty. In rain and snow it seems to work well, although like any caliper brakes, effectiveness declines when wet requiring some forethought. The internal hub gearing makes shifting effortless, even when stopped. The fenders (with the addition of a homemade mudflap in the front) keep road debris and water off the components and rider. After almost 4 months of almost daily use (I am not crazy enough to ride on ice) I have no regrets about this bike.
